queenb COVID-19 Update
The queenb team support the Government's decision to protect NZer's safety and well-being by imposing a business lockdown from midnight tonight 11.59pm 25th March, for at least four weeks. We are closing our offices and warehouse at 4.30pm today. Our showroom and shop have been closed since the announcement on Monday afternoon. We love our staff and customers and have been/are doing everything we can to keep them safe and well!
We have also been working as hard as possible to dispatch as many current orders as we can before we close this afternoon. Couriers are still considered an "essential service" and once the goods are shipped from our warehouse, they will still be delivered to you, even when we are closed. Please note there may be slight delays.
You will have lots of time at home to get your odd jobs done and renovate! Our website is still active to inspire you, and over this time orders can still be placed online at queenb.co.nz however no orders will be dispatched until we get the all clear to re-open.
We are still available via email for any queries you may have, and while there will be a delay in answering, we will do our best to get back to you in a timely manner.
Any existing orders not sent out by COB today will also be dispatched and delivered once the lockdown is finished and we are able to return to work.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will be in touch again once we have returned to operation.
The team at queenb wish you all the best over this time. Stay safe and look after each other.
Remember, we are very lucky to still have power, water and internet!
Keep well, keep safe.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
